If he had put such energy into studying, he would have become an official long ago.
A trace of loneliness flashed across Xiao Kang's eyes...
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door!
He stood up and opened the door, and a heavily made-up woman was standing outside, looking at him with a flattering expression.
"Old Xiao! Is your son home?"
This woman is a famous matchmaker in the nearby streets. Why did she come to my house today?
Xiao Kang asked in confusion: "Something's wrong? Why are you looking for him?"
The woman covered her mouth with her hands and smiled shyly, patting Xiao Kang lightly with her hand: "Oh, Old Xiao, you are so lucky! Your son has been admitted to a junior college, and now everyone in the neighborhood knows about it! The girl from the Zhang family next door has fallen in love with your son and asked me to be a matchmaker. Your son is not young anymore, how about... I go to his family and talk to him for you?"
Xiao Kang sneered: "Why do you suddenly fall in love with my son today?"
"Look at what you said. I feel embarrassed... You came to ask me for help today. Why am I here now?"
"You saw that my son is rich!" Xiao Kang said indifferently.

Xiao Kang snorted coldly: "Thank you for your kindness! But my son won't marry anyone who's not a lady from a wealthy family. See you later!"
He was about to close the door when the woman stretched out her foot to block it.
"Tsk! Why are you still so arrogant! Your son just earned a scholarship of 100 taels. The girl from the Zhang family is sixteen years old and looks plump and fair. I say, Old Xiao, don't be so arrogant. I also mean well." The woman was a little impatient.
Everyone in the neighborhood knows that your Xiao family is so poor that even a dog can't stay at home. You have to work outside, but you still act like a scholar all day long. Your son can't even get a wife, and now you are making excuses.
Xiao Kang's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said sternly: "One hundred taels is nothing! My son is a college student! Next time, if there is no lady from a rich family to introduce you, don't come!"
After that, there was a loud bang and the door was closed.
